Is the Word at Home with You?

Is God's Word at home with you? with your lifestyle? your attitudes at work? the way you treat family members? Do you manifest the wisdom of living God's Way? There's a world of difference between knowing all about the Bible and living life the way God has instructed in His Word! In tonight's message, our evangelist Mike Shrock, challenges each hearer to so saturate themselves with God's Word that it becomes their life.

How to Avoid Becoming a Foolish Father

How could a man like Solomon, who was tutored in his youth by the godly prophet Nathan, who had a father like King David who wrote "The Psalms" and whose worship and praise of God were most inspiring, who began his adult years with incredibly great wisdom from God which emerges in the sacred writings of Proverbs and the Song of Solomon, become so spiritually myopic and morally comatose?

Apparently the majestic splendor of the Solomonic temple and the impressive way in which Solomon worshiped God had no impact upon his son Rehoboam. The House of God held no value to Rehoboam: it was just "a dad thing" to him. Even though foreign dignitaries like the Queen of Sheba were most in awe of Solomon's wisdom, his work, and his worship, apparently his life had as much impact upon Rehoboam as the temple's majestic splendor.

Why did that happen? How in the world was that possible? In this message you will hear answers to those questions and find key truths that must be embraced and practiced if men are to avoid becoming foolish fathers.

The Quest for Wisdom

Against the backdrop of "Graduate's Day" in which our church recognized and gave gifts to its college graduates, Pastor Mike delivers a message that comes from the concluding part of Christ's "Sermon on the Mount" in which Jesus issues an invitation to respond to the message He has just preached. Christ's final words of His first sermon delivered at the commencement of His public ministry are instructive to us today who desire to be genuinely wise--regardless of how much formal academic education we have received or not received, regardless of whether one is a recent college graduate or not. Our text reveals three vital truths that must be accepted and acted upon if one would successfully embark upon The Quest for Wisdom and live as a wise person.
